Genes and brain sex differences.

Progress in brain research - 1 Jan 2010

Sánchez Francisco J, Vilain Eric

Abstract excerpt

Throughout development, numerous biological events occur that differentially affect males and females. Specifically, sex-determining genes that are triggered by the sex-chromosome complement initiate a series of events that determine an organism's sex and lead to the differentiation of the body in sex-specific ways. Such events contribute to many unique sex differences, including the susceptibility to different...
